November, 2001




11/28/01-Monk parakeets in raucous joyous flight yet flocking down up moments before dashed to death wild wind-buffeted by invisible breezes music a vibratory organized fleeting representation of emotion bonded to idea all phenomena expressions of the artist nature manifoldly mirrors in creation the grace of its creator our cacti freshly battered by neighbor boys or the unique tapestry of a snowflake both gem-like facets of one incredibly complex unified whole a jewel that encompasses everywhere everywhen if you can smile equally on appreciation abundance and certain annihilation understanding has begun temperatures plummeting the sheer biosphere a near mirage a merest presence of no noticeable import from but a little distance our to and fro frolics and frightful fracases just puffs wisps of steam far less of consequence than teapot tempests mercurial evanescent and yet beautifully awfully perfect as the water planet's brilliant patterns of climate and weather everything all individual being in transformation insubstantial as a flickering flame a transient thought a wave's solemn passing with wonder in each precious moment focus what if this exactly thus should last for eternity for so in just this way it does...

11/16/01-Big bruise large clot thigh itching low water crossing flood another colleague down ems workers carting her off before nine black skies at three warning tornadic winds do not attempt to leave the building or drive home do not remain near the outer walls windows or on the top story everyone is asked to go to the central training rooms on the first floor do not stop or go back to gather your belongings please wait there until further notice we'll give the all clear as soon as we receive it from the national weather service sans adventure what to do till the world ends benevolent oppression a chesty lady with julia roberts' smile hello nurse blood pressure rising vague burning pains around the ribs muscle strain happy thanksgiving visit pete's forty and a yet petulant kid who cares thoracic bone cancer if you've got it just write your will nothing to do they'll expensively zap or poison still bald is beautiful pressured speech playing in cloudburst creek five o'clock shadow opossum migrating along our back fence distressing our dog ink on my fingers insurance poor how much is your life worth old marat cursive discursive and acoustic verbal land dreamscape all awash after the deluge whether dead or deaf what was heard before conception another day hole in my exhaust carbon monoxide headaches the quest for pleasant turns of phrase the search for several bodies swept away fourteen inches in manchaca you may depend on nature to surprise every now and macaque monkeys baboons' red rears filling our cups with others' tears owls feeding on our doves their feathers falling down the bloody web ring urls don't work right now several trees collapsed in the storm churning winds in jarrel ground to bedrock bodies forests and buildings scattered over a hundred square miles thor's roar nature alone needs not our help with extreme destruction war sirens call with absolute vibrant shattering silence...




11/10/01-Lumpy pillow bunched up blankets and briefs you sexy thang hairy nipples drooping belly time plays few favorites you remember when falling asleep a blank drawing too much ear wax knee strain nothing simple every pickled brain right ankle pain taut rope neck tendons things in solution red rough spots chest pressure heavy basal cell carcinoma mrs. moffet the minx witnesses at cosmic soup prostate mama spanking phil for his enlargement holes cut in facial lesions reflex sympathetic dystrophy electronic pulse frequency feel her up and fran walked in asthmatic coffin here being of sound stream reserved in advance now and every bow wave wheezing smooth papyrus sitting on my nose huge bomb back blasts sucking their air out with the black belt shoulder harness holster brace with each breath again we inspire molecules a tightening leg cramp decreased urinary flows small subcutaneous fatty no baths alone exhaled by emily crystalline paper weight bony comfortable rest dickinson whistler's mother growth on my jesus of nazareth relaxed vulnerable bountiful skull and infected gum rice paddy cake plantings alexander the great returned by coughing synapses functioning more naturally primitive scorpion guatama buddha on his shield beauteous breasts of snowy egrets aloft slowly wading toes in shallow surf the web everyone each minutest subatomic particle with awareness immanent in five easy pieces ache stiffness high tree house for poo crabs scuttling away manifest energy when she reaches into his pants arches carpal tunnel road syndrome the nethermost atrophied and arthritic feet congestive stroking warming to her task ultimate extremis of heart failure who's afraid of our long universe cruise here comes the rain sweet smelling cunt honey...




11/4/01-There's a deep bass throbbing of sound that fills the air and vibrates the breastbone tickles the tops of our heads and shakes the fillings in the back teeth that for once is not blasting from the newest neighbors across the street but the obnoxious crowd behind who ousted and exiled their cute albino hamster who escaped to refuge into our yard where black and gray pepper found him licked his upright little rodent being like a woman her lover's pulsing member and whom we rescued before he was snatched up and scarfed down by local more bestial canines or felines or tawny-tailed raptors and replaced him with a noisy big yellow dog and tease our mutt for the fun of it but we do not care for tanned fran and olive-skinned phil since before our marriage fit like spooning silver spoons together like a painted horse and carriage or like a brown hand with green thumb and glove a pink foot into a purple sock perhaps more like an orange light and socket once screwed in the warmth from that snug fit spreading over both like hot mahogany molasses on buttered wheat-colored pancakes their bonded bodies complete for awhile at least like a single being front to front with two backs or back to back with white ceramic mortar and pestle doing the musical fevered rhythmic bump and grind producing their own lubrication or like the dip stick into the machine's well checking for sufficiency of liquid or like the train in the tunnel or our red tongues intimately exploring each other french-kissing not missing any sensational physical fran filling phil toy joy so let the hearty music play on or let the blue balls sperm wail but don't wait the farty party or worry for us we're coming soon...
